Gotta just say that the soup pourer probably wouldn’t have worked anyway but it certainly was NEVER going to work on your potbellied pots, which meant the pot side pulled away from the inside pourer surface. LOL
That spy pen's honestly OK considering what you'll probably be using it for. Not expecting some hollywood level quality just enough clarity to film and record and it seems to do that just fine.
I know right, you're not trying to make a RUclips video on it you're trying to get evidence of someone saying/ doing something, you know that they wouldn't if they know they are being recorded.
Think the air whirl crisper should have been toward the top considering the price and the fact that it will likely ruin the pan you use it with. All the products here were well deserving of the title though.
Just fyi, the "soup pourer" is actually a "paint pourer" for which that would fit on a standard 1 gallon paint can quite well and the viscosity of the paint prevents it from leaching under the item. It eliminates the build-up of flow-back paint along the rim which inhibits putting the lid back on. And hence the rubber construction which makes for easy clean-up once any paint left on it is dry. Actually, this is a brilliantly designed item.
@@dittohead7044like many As Sold On TV items, this is likely an attempt to expand the use of a niche item. In this case a paint pourer. A lot of ASOTV items are specialised tools trying to expand into new areas of just disability and accessibility items sold to a general public.
I’d almost forgotten about the blackening toaster! It reminded me of the hand mixer my good friend and her roommate got their first year at Johns Hopkins. One afternoon, while E was taking a bubble bath, her roomie decided to use the hand mixer she’d gotten for opening her bank account to make a chocolate cake. (Remember the days of getting small appliances when you opened accounts at new banks?). Anyway, E heard a yell from the kitchen. Roomie came into the bathroom covered in cake batter from the waist up. She’d turned the mixer on to 2. After seeing that the counters, cupboards, walls and ceiling were splattered with chocolate cake batter, they decided that the mixer’s settings started at “whip” and went all the way to “atomize”.
I use my spy pen daily. I'm a Realtor and have had two occasions where I feared for my life during a showing. It's a decent recorder to show faces. It doesn't replace my every day carry but it may help if something happens.
Wow, sorry to hear about how dangerous being a realtor can be! So you film people so the police can i.d. your killer? Wouldn't the perpetrator see the camera on your glasses and take it?
I completely agree with you about the laser scissors. I sew, so I decided that this would be a good tool to have for cutting my fabric. It is about as sharp on fabric as a garden shears. The laser beam definitely does nothing but shine a red light as you continue to cut crooked. My one has been demoted to paper. A waste of money.
I inherited my husband's Aunts toaster. Bought in 52. She had 4 children and 4 adults using it. I had 2 children and two adults. Finally hit the dust about 15 years ago. Unfixable. My sister has my mother's toaster. Same version. Bought in 57. Still works, but never used quite as much. My mother had 3 children and 2 adults. My sister had 2 adults and 1 child.
@@MattMcConaha Electric and electronic have different definitions. The auto functions were all mechanical. Of course the heating elements were electric.
That spy pen makes me think of those “X-ray glasses’ they always had ads for in the back of magazines back in the 60s and 70s. 😅 The soup pouring device is a good idea but executed poorly. Could it be repurposed as a doorstop? The laser on the laser scissors would probably attract your cat.
@@Maninawig, they were crap. I never got them, but I had friends that did. They definitely were a total waste of the allowance money saved up for sometimes weeks to get them.
Your assessment of the soup pourer may be accurate but I did notice the odd shaped concaved sides of your pots when testing it. Never saw cookware of the design.
Thanks James, great video as always. I want to mention that I really like that you don't play music while doing your reviews. Much appreciated........................
With the soup spout pot thing, the problem isn't with the device, it's with your pots. They're barrel-shaped (bowed walls), whereas the spout is meant for straight-walled pots.
Ahh another year of watching reviews for stuff I'll probably never get, James is just so enjoyable to watch idk. Looking forward to what 2023 might bring 🥂 Also, I love how both the best and worst of 2022 videos are 22:22 long
I am still using my toaster that I received as a wedding gift in 1979 and it works perfectly with the midrange settings nicely toasted. It only holds 2 normal sized slices of bread but that’s all we use anyway.
The Air Whirl Crisper was the supreme joke. I was glad to see your real life demo back in the day. TY for that sir. That product should be shot into space to another planet. 🤣 MAYBE they can improve this disaster.
I’ve been a fan for a long time despite having zero interest in as seen products. You just make such relaxing and good content. Here’s to another year🎉
i have been binge watching you for a couple days now some of your older videos i haven't seen and even some that i have seen i watched them again because i enjoy this type of video and they way you do it
Oh my gosh! I am killing myself watching this! Ridiculous products, and you are completely hilarious! That absurd egg scrambler and the plastic wrap dispenser? Lol!
Hmmm.... the soup pourer thingy could actually be useful: If you want to separate excess water from soup if the soup is too diluted. About the laser-scissors: the laser would have to be attached to the paper/card board instead of the scissors. then it would actually make sense (in the case for example that you can't draw a line on the paper because you want the paper to stay pristine).
I'd love to see a video where you take stuff that although wasn't total failures wasn't successes either and test them again or get someone else to test them again and really work hard on seeing if they can be good for certain uses. As usual love all the content
Simple idea instead of the egg scrambler place the egg in the middle of a clean sock and hold the sock on both ends and spin the sock as if you were going to try to skip rope. This would be just as effective without the risk of breakage.
This just blew my mind, but I'm amazed that ALL of your videos (at least this year and last year) tell the year by the second count. Been watching for like 3 years now I think and only just noticed all your videos this year end with :22... Wow.
Thank you for your reviews. I consistently return to your channel because it's just great entertainment and really relaxing to watch. I'd love to see another ice-cream/dessert maker review in the future.
19:53 - I think you might have the bottle opener upside down. Though, it'd probably hurt regardless, as a thin sheet of metal would never give you a comfy grip.
I see a lot of other people also noticed the odd-shaped pan you used for the soup pourer. For the slicer/holder... it might work better if you used an appropriate sized knife! Like an actual tomato slicing knife (see Rada) or even a steak knife. Also, if you angle your knife as you get to the bottom and let the tip of the blade cut the bottom as you pull it through you would maybe have better luck. I totally enjoy your videos! Sometimes you just verify my better judgement when I consider certain products. Please, keep up the good work!
as with that toaster, i think there are a lot of fake amazon reviews that rate items higher than they deserve. i've had things too that were an amazon's choice, or #1 rated and they were no good at all. now when i make a big purchase i'll check other sites reviews too and not just trust amazons
We had a cuisinart toaster very similar to that 20 years ago. It was horribly inconsistent, it burned stuff SO badly, or it wouldn’t toast properly at all. I can’t believe they’re still making them!!
This was a great video, from you finally wearing a nice suit, the cool music when announcing the next failed product and yea the cake was cool too. THANKS for posting.🤗
The Auto Fan just doesn't make sense at all. If it's blowing air out of the car, that just creates negative pressure inside which is going to suck in outside air through the cracks in your car. Exactly the same effect as opening your windows, as you said.
The plastic wrap dispenser was supposed to be flipped the other way. Instead of the roll coming out from the top and having contact around most of the sides, it’s supposed t come out from the bottom because the part your pulling won’t have as much contact to stick.
Love the reviews and your commentaries are priceless! ha ha ha laugh of the day. I think what all of these products have in common is where they are manufactured and the price points for such gadgets are out of this world! Just how many are Amazon Must Haves? Does not take an engineering degree to figure out that some are so poorly conceived and manufactured that they cannot possibly work! Glad I found a reliable source for trusted reviews!
I had a pair of window fans back around the 93-95 days. They were solar powered and back then did manage to keep the cabin air temperature to a manageable "I can at least grip the steering wheel." without burning my hands off. Back then they worked. Parking orientation seems to have been a factor. East to West perpendicular parking orientation of the sun was the best. Cut to now the Lanmodo Car Tent is the overall winner in my book when it comes to keeping the interior cabin cool in the summer and in the winter a respectably snow free vehicle.
for the pour spout, I know you got a few comments pointing this out in your original video, but it seems to have worked so poorly because your pots were curved at the sides. and even though you gave it a "Second chance", you still used a curved pot so it doesnt really seem like a completely fair test IMO.
The toaster is for me. A toasting loaf from the supermarket has a higher sugar content and burns easily. A rustic and less sugar homemade loaf would be better. As a tester I don’t think you did this justice. I really like dark/brown/slightly burnt cornered toast!
Wraptastic has a wonderful gadget similar to the one you showed but works better I was paralyzed on my left side and got the wraptastic with the plastic wrap and foil
The laser scissor is for paper. You are supposed to make a starting cut aim the laser and then GLIDE the scissors straight to the other side following the lasers path.
This is so depressing to watch, love the video, but I can definitely see people that made them reach that sweet spot of "Ok, this doesn't work but it looks like it could and it is cheap enough that people will buy it just to try it out, let's make a batch of them!"
Great vid! I thought you were pretty nice to use a cake graphic instead of a giant turd 😁appreciate the nice festive clothing 👌🏻 2022 a good year for bad products!

Solid picks. Just note that your #4 slicing guide must have been advertised wrong as well as built badly. Well built ones are great for cutting 1 or 2 egg sized items & I find it’s easier to wash by hand than the wire slicers. “Is it easy to clean?” is my top metric for kitchen gadgets. If you’re doing large volumes, the metal wire slicers win handily for efficiency as clean time is less of a factor. But if you’re cooking for 1-2 and don’t have a dishwasher, or don’t run it every day, I can recommend the classic version of this slicer. I thrifted a classic aluminum one & use it on hard boiled eggs, mushrooms, olives, & small fruits all the time. The trick is turning it upside down & cutting toward the open end with a medium sized knife. Bonus tip: To dice eggs, cut the first lines, then rotate it so those lines are parallel to the opening. Then after the 2nd cuts you can hold it sideways to support the julienned egg on the slats while doing the final rotation to cut dice.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who had problems with the laser scissors. I thought this would be the answer to my problem since I can’t cut straight but it just made it worse. I ended up throwing them away.
I think the slicer holder deserves a second chance with a better cutting technique. I didn't watch the original but it looked like you were just pressing down with the top half of the knife in the clips you used. This probably won't work unless your knife is extremely sharp, so I could see why you'd end up with messed up tomatoes. If there's a next time, try cutting by starting at the base of the knife, then pulling it towards you while applying downwards pressure, you might get cleaner cuts that way.
The actual ORIGINAL product was for egg slicing. Someone just reboxed a vintage product without any redesign at all. Works great with eggs. Regarding the knife, you’re spot on. Don’t bother slicing tomatoes unless you have a sharp knife.
I feel like that car rooftop shade umbrella would do much better than the fan 😂😂 but then who'd like to drive around with a giant umbrella on your car's roof? 🙈
I was genuinely like what could possibly be worse than the mobile phone stents because it was so painful to watch. Like, nothing can top how terrible it was. But then you hit us with the laser scissors and it all came full circle. I don't know how you ranked the two.
Thank you ranking the toaster so high but it's not really a problem with this particular Toaster more with a lot of them even from name brands. I've tried several and almost every toaster BURNT the bread beyond a medium setting. I'm yet to find one with gradually and evenly toasts
I thought the worst was the pan air fryer. Did not even do the job. It’s my worst of 2022. Also, for the ones that don’t make the list, DIS-honorable mentions
You know what James, my wife and I decided you’re pretty much one of the only trustworthy reviewers out there. Much love ❤

I like the fact that #2 the toaster was featured on the same episode as a toaster that made the years BEST list.
My experience is that modern toasters are under powered. You need to crank them all the way up.
The Auto Fan just doesn't make sense at all. If it's blowing air out of the car, that just creates negative pressure inside which is going to suck in outside air through the cracks in your car. Exactly the same effect as opening your windows, as you said.

“People are probably wondering what I’m doing out here.”
Yes, I’m calling the cops!
(My LOL of the day.)
The soup spout would have possibly worked better if your pots weren't shaped bulged out. Flatter, more cylindrical would have been a better test.
Solid picks. Just note that your #4 slicing guide must have been advertised wrong as well as built badly. Well built ones are great for cutting 1 or 2 egg sized items & I find it’s easier to wash by hand than the wire slicers.
“Is it easy to clean?” is my top metric for kitchen gadgets. If you’re doing large volumes, the metal wire slicers win handily for efficiency as clean time is less of a factor. But if you’re cooking for 1-2 and don’t have a dishwasher, or don’t run it every day, I can recommend the classic version of this slicer.
I thrifted a classic aluminum one & use it on hard boiled eggs, mushrooms, olives, & small fruits all the time. The trick is turning it upside down & cutting toward the open end with a medium sized knife.
Bonus tip: To dice eggs, cut the first lines, then rotate it so those lines are parallel to the opening. Then after the 2nd cuts you can hold it sideways to support the julienned egg on the slats while doing the final rotation to cut dice.
That’s what I learned to do. It’s a very quick way to chop eggs.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who had problems with the laser scissors. I thought this would be the answer to my problem since I can’t cut straight but it just made it worse. I ended up throwing them away.
Love your reviews! You do such a good job 😄
I think the slicer holder deserves a second chance with a better cutting technique. I didn't watch the original but it looked like you were just pressing down with the top half of the knife in the clips you used. This probably won't work unless your knife is extremely sharp, so I could see why you'd end up with messed up tomatoes.
If there's a next time, try cutting by starting at the base of the knife, then pulling it towards you while applying downwards pressure, you might get cleaner cuts that way.
The actual ORIGINAL product was for egg slicing. Someone just reboxed a vintage product without any redesign at all. Works great with eggs.
Regarding the knife, you’re spot on. Don’t bother slicing tomatoes unless you have a sharp knife.
The whole time I was like, who the hall cuts a tomato in a vertical motion ???
10 more items to be added in the boneyard
I feel like that car rooftop shade umbrella would do much better than the fan 😂😂 but then who'd like to drive around with a giant umbrella on your car's roof? 🙈
"and with your other hand you have to open this up.."
Me: I can't it's rocket science lol
The toaster proclaimed that level one was the toaster ...that first toast actually looked perfect.
I was genuinely like what could possibly be worse than the mobile phone stents because it was so painful to watch. Like, nothing can top how terrible it was. But then you hit us with the laser scissors and it all came full circle. I don't know how you ranked the two.
I died when you were running around with the pen and gopro!
Frankly, I'm surprised the AirWhirl wasn't higher up on the list.
Thank you ranking the toaster so high but it's not really a problem with this particular Toaster more with a lot of them even from name brands. I've tried several and almost every toaster BURNT the bread beyond a medium setting. I'm yet to find one with gradually and evenly toasts
I thought the worst was the pan air fryer. Did not even do the job. It’s my worst of 2022. Also, for the ones that don’t make the list, DIS-honorable mentions
I have the metal version of the tomato and lemon holder for slicing. It was my Great Grandmothers and I use a paring knife and works beautifully.
I think the toaster was meant to have 4 pieces of bread, it would take more power to heat more mass… I could be wrong though
Gotta love the passionate reactions! Makes this video so enjoyable!! Thanks for buying these 'lemons' and testing them out so we don't have to!
I LOVE how the spy pen values privacy xD!
Appreciate the honest reviews 🙏😊
